"REEEsignstein!" (pt.1) from "Evergreen: The Musical!" [DEMO]

LYRICS:

How many times must

Black bodies suffer

For the hate and the crimes of

White men like you?

You invalidate their experience

When you promulgate these empiricist

Ontologies, epistemologies,

Psychologies and biologies

You can’t know what they’ve been through

Their lives are opaque to you

Stop denigrating their existence

Shut yer trap, raise a fist and

Join in our resistance ‘gainst people like you

Hey ho, hey ho,

Einstein must go!

You white men created

these systems of knowledge

That you think “objective”

but that’s such a sham

The black folk and brown folk

and yellow and red folk

They’ve access to wisdoms

you can’t understand

Their eyes you cannot see through

Their insights are beyond you

Your science is violence

And so is your silence

So we demand compliance from people like you

The time’s overdue

to Justice pursue

Thus we must subdue

Big bigots like you

HEY, HEY, HO, HO, CHET EINSTEIN HAS GOT TO GO

You don’t know what they’ve been through

Their pain is unknown to you

Your life is so privileged

while theirs are discouraged

So please shut the fuck up and undo

The harm that you’ve caused by your views

Your facts and your data

They don’t really matter

Compared to their lived truth

And if you pretend to be

Innocent of the things

That we accuse you of

It’s cause you’re bigoted…
